Just read a line in *Reminiscences of a Stock Operator*: "The only way I make big money is to stop thinking about making small money."
This morning it suddenly clicked: the biggest enemy of trading isn’t the market—it’s the pressure you put on yourself.
The more you try to double your money, the easier it is to crash.
Slow down a bit, and you’ll go farther.
Let’s talk about today’s $ETH order book.
Currently 1,942; over the past 24h it’s up 3.87%, with trading volume of 608 million USDT.
Someone just asked me: do you chase it or not?
I said, look at these numbers—it's up, but it's not crazy.
A 3.87% move isn’t earth-shattering, and the volume isn’t sky-high either.
If you keep staring at that 3.87% and think: can it do another 3.87% tomorrow?
Then you’re already adding pressure to yourself.
Once the pressure kicks in, your execution starts to deform.
Stretch the timeframe—being up 3% over two days versus up 1.5% in one day makes little difference.
The key is whether you can sleep well.
Write it down first.
